Acardo and CorFire sign NFC coupon partnership

Couponing technology provider and clearinghouse Acardo, which serves more than 10,000 retail locations across Europe, has signed a strategic partnership deal with mobile commerce specialist CorFire to enable NFC acquisition and redemption of vouchers through mobile wallets.

“The partnership will enable Acardo to incorporate its digital vouchering solution ‘Open Wallet’ into the CorFire Wallet product platform,” says CorFire. “Using this enhanced technology, companies will now be able to develop and deliver offers that are customised based on past consumer behaviour, time of day and physical location.

“Merchants will have the opportunity to engage with consumers through social check-ins, mobile gifting and more, which has the ability to recreate how companies structure loyalty programs.”
